A series of black SUVs, trucks, two white vans and a locksmith's van entered the property as a crowd of observers and news cameras observed from the edge of the diplomatic compound.US officials speaking to reporters Friday said the consulate had been implicated in a fraud investigation at a Texas research institution and that Chinese consulate officials,"were directly involved in communications with researchers and guided them on what information to collect.
Read MoreRelations between China and the United States have plummeted in the past year, amid an ongoing trade war, the coronavirus pandemic, and US criticism of China's human rights abuses in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.Washington's demand for the Houston consulate to close set the stage for federal agents to enter the diplomatic compound on Friday afternoon. It also triggered a Chinese demand earlier Friday that the US close its consulate in Chengdu.

Honestly? I don't trust that my government in it's current state wouldn't lie, just to try and drum up a distraction, and a new bad guy to unite his fracturing base. Now more than ever before, our president is a liar, and the government of the US is untrustworthy. And that's sad.
no freedom!
ericgarland Good
Be prepared for a disaster of epic proportions. From the east
Sandy is right. The President of Hate, between the consulate closure and sending armed troops into cities wants to deflect the deaths of thousands from Covid-19. Remember when he thought the guys in China, N.Korea were GREAT guys and he had a GREAT relationship? Bully. Loser
Chicomms are not our friends
And I thought the UK had problems with China, guess America has a massive problem with china😬
Wake up! Espionage is very real. Almost every country has an espionage/intelligence organization.
USA needs to protect its technology and science from espionage theft by foreign countries. Espionage is very real.

The United States has an Asian spy hub of 2000 people in Hong Kong, which must be closed down
Who does not spy?!
Excellent. We have been the stooges of the Chinese government long enough. No doubt this operation was approved and initiated by trump. The Chinese see themselves as the young lions of the world and they see the US as a big bloated lazy morally corrupt organism to be feasted upon
天天说中国是霸权主义，要脸吗？
USA violates the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations after breaking into the Chinese consulate in Houston.
CCP is threatening USA safety, but lot of US communist is thinking CCP is good and this is just TRUMP’s distraction. Obviously, USA is going to be destroyed…because communist everywhere here, and most of citizens didn’t aware the evil of CCP, some even kneel to CCP…
Action!Action!Action!
ericgarland Maybe they'll mow the fucking grass in front of it now. That place is a dump.
Why doesn't CNN report PRESIDENT TRUMP is going to get cheaper prescription drugs Why hasn't any other president or Mr. Biden did this years ago? I would think this is BREAKING NEWS! THANK YOU.
ericgarland Was Cruz in van ?
At first read of the headline, it starts off like it's supposed to be a joke, then I realize CNN is a joke. So it makes sense. A priest, a rabbi and an Imam enter a bar......
Radlein Not a good idea to violate a diplomatic compound.
Awesome. Let’s war with China. If you steal IP it should be a death sentence.
The receptionist says Why the long face?
Seems to me a convenient set-up to sway election votes............why now.......why in an election year?
I am guessing that your viewers and followers will never here from you about the newly released documents that confirmed that the Obama / Biden administration Did Spy on the Trump campaign and later, on President Trump!
lauferlaw Key word: ALLEGED ......

Promises made- Promises kept. 🇺🇸
yeah okay what a distraction don't believe it they're trying to pull out all the stops they can to distract from this mess in the US. China North Korea Iran not hearing it but what I would like to talk about is Russia.
Buffoon Trump will start a war for domestic politics.
Russia hack systems to steal the Covid research, rig the voting system in Trump’s favour & basically do what they want- this is not classed as espionage!
To master brinksmanship is an art, but the master in the WH may have written a book on the art, but he is no master of it.
And they will find exactly ziltch inside the consulate. If i was the US consulate in US i would evacuate asap cause soon there will be some PLA at their gates.
It is an aggressive action by the US authorities and better be true allegations! CNN pls do sweep it under the carpet if allegations are false!!!!
much the same as the US
hey realDonaldTrump what about russian consulates and embassies!
distractions
🤦🏾♂️
I am sure CNN will defend China on this. Call for Trump's impeachment again
U.S. fights for China slaves - Uighur’s Freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The first sentence of this headline sounds like the lead-up to a bad joke. “US agents, local law enforcement and a duck entered the Chinese consulate in Houston. Chinese consulate says “who’s paying?” Duck says “put it on my bill.”
What? So they just locked down the building and left all the espionage business lying around to be found by the U.S.? Something smells here and I don't think it's koi.
First they give us China Virus, then they try to take control of US elections, where are the Dems calling out China for election interference? Or is it because China wants Biden? Silence is deafening.
Make no mistake, CCP is a dictator regime taking advance of the system in the free-world and not our friend. You don't have to side-with CCP in-order to show you disapprove of Trump. You can be in a no-trump movement and not support CCP at the same time.
Year of the moron
Aren’t ALL consulates home base for espionage efforts, around the world for every country?
America! China is not your fucking friend. Wake up...
oh fuck.
7 hours later CNN with the breaking story..
Next see what China will find in US Chengdu Consulate.
Days after it was ordered to close. My guess is there won’t be much left there to find.
Trump just was on phone the other day with Putin then this happens! Chinese Intelligence Community probably narrowing in on evidence that Putin released this virus into the World and Trump is covering it up for Outib! Trust nothing what Trump do it have a bigger reason than known
Just one big distraction Trump is throwing in our way. Get ready for something coming or keep paying at something in days behind.
All they are doing is destroying trump collusion evidence. Said someone with no evidence. 😇🙂
I smell setup
We do the same shit to them. We know it, they know it, most informed people no it. This is a distraction...
Can you say BULLSHIT.. just what we need at our weakest a new pissing match with China. This is a new effort by Trump to distract.
This is violating international laws, no?
Trump has plumbers?
So was this democrat headquarters?
No — stealing, espionage, this is not a new phenomenon. By the way, I have been to China.
Of course they are ans the CPC contributes to the DNC. It goes back to 1996 and before.
So now Trump's secrete police are invading Chinese territory.
Do you trust US agents?
Good. Get rid off these Chinese crooks.
Sure it is
Is this Papa John in the thumbnail with his new day job?
Great the must leave
wonder if Hunter's paystubs were laying around still
